We're halfway through summer, and it's high time for some homemade ice cream flavors that celebrate all things wonderful about the season. Namely, fresh peaches, blackberries, dark cherries, mint and local honey.

Since Amber Wilson of For the Love of the South is a pro when it comes to summer flavors (just get a load of her 4 Summer Fruit Lemonades she developed for us last month), we put her to work on four pretty ice cream recipes that play up summer's bounty.

The best part about her recipes? They are all derived from one vanilla ice cream base, detailed below. Meaning once you get the simple, yet heavenly, vanilla down pat, all you need to do is adjust seasonal mix-ins. Also, if you're new to the ice cream game, these are great recipes to start with, because they forgo that pesky egg-custard base.
